A Sugar Baby
The Taste I Know
Daniel returned home, and by that time Lea had returned home from college.
"Hey." said Daniel as he approached Lea who was struggling with a laptop at the dining table.
"Hi mas."
Daniel kissed Leah on the forehead, then put what he had brought to the table. Daniel pulled out a chair and sat down next to his wife.
"Buy cake." said Lea noticed.
"Yes" replied Daniel.
"Would you drink something?" lea asked her husband.
"No need for Le, I'm drinking water. I've been in the office three times."
Leah moved and took the water from the refrigerator.
"Let me." said Daniel.
"It's okay."
Lea handed Daniel a bottle of cold water and a glass. The man poured some water and drank up to a few gulps. Meanwhile, Lea now starts opening the box of cakes that Daniel brought. He took one and ate it.
"Hm."
Suddenly Lea fell silent, Daniel now looked at his wife.
"I know what it's like." Lea muttered. Daniel poured water back into the glass and he was still staring at Leah.
"Why Le?" ask Daniel then.
"It's like mother-made kayaks." replied Lea.
"The money was bought at your mom's shop."
"Huh?"
Lea flabbergasted.
"Mas mean?" her question doesn't understand.
Daniel took a cake and ate it.
"Your mother opened a cake shop, so let's communicate."
"Oh, where do you open?"
Lea was really surprised to not know about it. Daniel then told the location where the cake shop was.
"Well, good, if you realize she has to make an effort. Don't just spend the money usually. He must have visions ahead, so as not to regret in old age."
Daniel did not answer and just continued to eat.
"So I met my mom?"
Daniel nodded.
"Yes" he answered later.
"Chat?"
"Yes." Yeah." Daniel took a tissue and wiped his hand.
"It's been given more of her, he said to you. He's also our son, your condition."
Daniel looked at Lea, and Lea returned the gaze. Although then he turned to look at the box containing the cake.
"Have you never had any news with your mother?" ask Daniel again.
"It is rarely mas. But I've always told her she's in the dark."
Daniel watched his wife as he sighed.
"If not, my mother wouldn't think long. How much money, Abis continued. That's why I was arrested, not that I didn't think. Let me be more responsible for my own life. The money from me at that time abis not restless, continued mother asked again. I was just wrong, why can't I chat. She is healthy and has a healthy husband. It is not my duty to support them, as long as they are able to support themselves. Even if I want to thank you, that's my devotion as a child. Not because of obligation or obligation. Unless they can't make any more money."
Daniel was still watching Lea.
"Dad thanks mom, 700 million loh mas. And that was recently. Delayed that it abis also in an instant."
Daniel nodded his head.
"That cake shop too, Richard's the place." Daniel said.
"Mother story?"
"Yes." Yeah." Daniel sighed and continued saying.
"Your mother is starting to change. He was nice to me, we had a long interaction."
"It's good that, hopefully, Ryan's father is the same Ryan doesn't take mom's money anymore."
"Yes" said Daniel.
"But you go there once in a while, visit your mother." he continued.
This time Leah was silent.
Lea was getting quiet.
"I'm not in a hurry, just think about everything. If you're ready, you can go there yourself, or I'm anther, or the same driver. It's up to you."
Lea took a breath.
"Yes" he answered later.
This time it was Daniel who sighed. The man then stood up and rubbed Lea's head, like rubbing a child's head. Then he went to the elevator, took a shower and changed his clothes.
